End-of-season poll 2013


Home from home.

June 4 2013

Voted by YOU; compiled by Japie.So that’s that.  We’re done.  All that’s left to watch this season is the small matter of a British and Irish Lions tour to Hong Kong and Australia.  However I reckon that means it’s pretty much the end of season.  So in keeping with a fine unofficial website tradition it’s time for the END OF SEASON POLL 2013 (EOS13).

See all FOUR parts of the questions below.  Three parts are the same questions as in previous years but there’s a NEW part this time, an opportunity to pick your Aviva Premiership XV of the Year.  Please vote in as many categories as you can, otherwise it’s just my own opinions that count (and I’m not Steve Diamond).

 

Please email your votes to unofish at hotmail dot co dot uk by 11pm on Friday 14 June 2013.

The results will be published in FOUR parts over the following few weeks.  Regular articles keep the site alive…!

Here we go again.

Japie will collate all the material - a Labour of Love. What he needs is some material to work with, so please, please, send him some stuff, be it serious, humorous or just daft!

Wot? No villain section into which we can put Richard bloody Cockerill?

Also, I think the Premiership XV should be one omitting Sarries players. But, hey, I'm not compiling this so what do I know?

Great idea about villain. Remind me, or whoever is foolish enough to agree to do this next year. Actually I should probably have set up a Survey Monkey account and compiled the results automatically through that to save me the hours of ploughing through results and compiling records. Again, next year...!

I want to be able to vote for Saracens players in the Premiership XV if I think they are the best. And if others here do too and it means slightly biased results then the debate can kick off from there!

Which players would be eligible for Young Player of the Year? Players like Fraser/Wray/Mako? Or more academy players?
